Ancienne Eglise Nouvelle Eglise >

Like all the districts of Paris under the Second Empire, the District of the Monceau Plain saw its population increase. After the Commune, a new place of worship was raised under the responsibility of the architect of Édouard Delebarre de Bay. He chooses a rather stripped-down neo-Romanesque style. The building, dedicated to St. Francis of Sales, was blessed in 1873.

D5 The organ was built around 1902 by Abbey. In the middle of the 20th century, it had several transformations by the Gonzalez, Muller and Maciet towards neo-classical aesthetics. In 1987, the instrument was rebuilt by the Languedoc Manufacture of Grandes-Orgues (Lovède). The neo- roman case was preserved. Ten stops were added: GO: Grosse Fourniture II, Plein Jeu V; Récit: Flûte à fuseau 4, Cymbale IV; Solo: Grand Cornet V, Trompette 8, Clairon 4; Pédale: Principal 8, Octave 4, Bombarde 16.
